Definitely makes things more interesting.

But she need a lightweight netbook for her job. Most of the time she uses Excel, sometime for movies and music. I considered between Dell mini 12 and Lenovo S10. Mini 12 seem have better monitor but I'm not sure about Atom Z520 and Atom 1.60. Seem that mini 12 is much slower than S10. Could you give me some suggestions on it?

I went with a Mini 12 and think its awesome but the whole XP/1Gig RAM thing is a huge bummer.

I'm really looking for a light-weight Mac, and stuck between the Macbook Air, Lenovo or Dell. I might spring for the Air and Lenovo, like you did. But I already have a Macbook and Macbook Pro, it seems like overkill. :-) Ahhh, so many choices! This is an excellent review/comparison, thanks Alex!

Stupid quote key placement... who did the product testing?!@?@e Apart from keyboard, it can't be beat for a hackintosh, and you can get it for a STEAL at the dell outlet. I paid 520 AUD for mine w/ 16Gb SSD, 1Gb RAM, Bluetooth AND the 3G WWAN card! (thats around 350 USD at current exchange rates). That 150+ USD saving is enough to tip the scales in the dell's favour comprehensively IMHO The hackintosh process for Dell Mini 10 is far less refined than for mini 9 i.e. its still hit and miss, in fact I’m not even sure its been confirmed possible.
